The Master Switch (aka Start Switch) is known as S1 in the schematics. Terminals 2-4-6-8 are all jumpered together on...
I have a similar but different starting problem from the other 804A start problem threads. I've read everything in those threads and I think I've done all of those tests (details below) so I "guess" I'm down to the governor module being the problem but I want to be sure first before just...
